The chairman of the "Lëvizja Bashkë" party, Arlind Qori, during a statement for the show "Të Paekspozuarit" on MCN TV, stated that with his visit to Israel, Edi Rama has humiliated Albania and the Albanian people.
According to Qori, Rama has also ignored the moral aspect, namely by visiting and meeting with the prime minister of a country that has killed thousands of people in Gaza, but also the fact that Netanyahu is wanted for arrest by the International Criminal Court, whose jurisdiction Albania recognizes, and our authorities should arrest Netanyahu if he trespasses within Albanian territory and not legitimize him.
" Netanyahu is under indictment by the International Court of Justice for genocide and many human rights organizations, even in Israel, have concluded that Netanyahu's government and military apparatus committed genocide in Gaza. Netanyahu is also wanted by the International Criminal Court, for war crimes and crimes against humanity. If in the first dimension Albania has a moral obligation to stand by the victims and oppressed, in the second aspect it also has some legal obligations. In 2003, the Albanian Parliament ratified the Rome Statute, which recognizes the jurisdiction of the Court. If Netanyahu comes to Albania, he should surrender before this court.
Between these two aspects, the obligation of international law and Rama's whims to come up with a character that few world leaders come up with, Albania had to maintain its reputation.
The reason why Rma does this, I believe, is mainly related to the fear he has of the new justice institutions, of accusations of corruption. He is ready to do anything in the international arena, to gain some influence from the big world politics. I can't find any other reason why the Prime Minister of Albania meets with a character who is not just any criminal, but is accused by the International Criminal Court, whose jurisdiction he recognizes.
Edi Rama has humiliated us as a country and as a people, when he does not respect the countless victims, there is talk of 70 thousand victims, many of whom were children. He does not even respect the obligations that Albania has based on international law.
It is an obligation that the state should implement and the prime minister cannot allow himself to come out and smile at a political figure accused of atrocities, crimes against humanity and war crimes. These are not opinions but official accusations.
"I want to point out the fact that for years Netanyahu has not met with many leaders of democratic states, they refuse to meet with him, there is great moral weight, such a meeting, or the legitimization of Netanyahu's policies, his far-right government ," said Qori.
Moralisht nuk mund ta akuzosh Ramen per mungese morali sepse nuk e ka pasur kurre! Rama me te drejte e quan te pa moraleshme hedhjen e elementeve zjarr venes mbi godinen e kryeministrise kur proteston opozita, proteston me te madhe dhe me te drejte, per vrasjet qe u bene qytetareve ne nje nga demostratat qe e udhehiqte vete dhe i drejtoj njerezit drejt vrasjes, dhe nuk e ka per gje te mbylli syte e veshet per vrasjen e mijrave femijeve e grave e burrave te pafajshem ne Palestine. Po eshte turp qe kemi nje kryeminister te pa turp!
